Yes, and it also comes with a case. The Gold does have 1GB, vs 512MB, of internal memory.

Bookeen is providing their own firmware, but since everyone is now using Adobe Digital Editions this seems less important than before. PocketBook also uses Netronix hardware with their own firmware, but they support FB2, TXT, RTF, HTML, PRC, CHM, DJVU, DOC, and TCR ebook formats in addition to ePub and PDF. They also claim to have made significant enhancements over ADE as used on other devices, although these are not available yet. Bookeen, by comparison, has a relatively standard ADE implementation, although zoom for PDF is unusual.
